POLITICAL CORRECTNESS MEETS THE POWER OF SEC FOOTBALL …
The president of the University of Missouri resigned this week amid allegations that he failed to sufficiently address racial issues on the school’s mostly white campus. Of interest? School president Timothy Wolfe made the decision to step down after members of the mostly-black Missouri football team said they would not practice or play in a game until a student opposing Wolfe ended his hunger strike.
A national championship contender in recent seasons, Missouri has struggled to a 4-5 record this year. Which is probably one reason so many of its players were willing to put their season on the line.
“We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experiences,” Mizzou strong safety Anthony Sherrils said.
Head coach Gary Finkel backed the walkout.
“We are united,” he said. “We are behind our players.”
What the hell happened here?
Well, back in October someone apparently drew a swastika on the wall of a gender-neutral dorm on campus … using human feces.
That display prompted 25-year-old Jonathan Butler – a black graduate student at the school – to launch a hunger strike. According to Butler, he was willing to die for his cause – namely opposing the “systematic oppression” of Mizzou’s minority students.
“I already feel like campus is an unlivable space, so it’s worth sacrificing something of this grave amount, because I’m already not wanted here,” he told The Washington Post. “I’m already not treated like I’m a human.”
Really?
Mizzou elected an openly-gay, black homecoming king. The school was also where Michael Sam – the first openly gay person selected in the NFL draft – terrorized opposing quarterbacks.
(Sam is black, incidentally).
Does that sound like a hotbed of “systematic” intolerance to you?
Of course not … but according to Butler, the hatred spawned by the 2014 Ferguson race riots somehow infected the Columbia campus. And when several isolated incidents of bigotry culminated in a sh*t-stained swastika – the politically correct drumbeat was on. And once the football team got involved … heads were gonna roll.
“It’s a commentary on the influence of football in the SEC,” one Mizzou alum told FITS. “It’s like (Wolfe’s) hands became tied and he had no other choice. He was backed into a corner.”
According to the alum, “there is no evidence of any systemic policies at Mizzou that would oppress African-Americans – but they’ve ruined the president over it.”
The PC legions are unlikely to stop there, either.
“There’s a statue of Thomas Jefferson on campus,” the alum added. “It’s symbolic of Missouri being part of the land in the Louisiana purchase – which was made during his presidency. But now some students want the statue (taken) down because he was a slaveholder. Ridiculous. PC on crack!”
In fact this whole sorry episode only solidifies our theory regarding college athletics: That these government-run institutions and programs should be forever severed from the public sector, set free to pursue their destinies in the private sector.
Don’t get us wrong: Racism is abhorrent. And those who practice it should be held accountable for their actions. And Missouri’s president obviously did an extremely poor job of communicating with students and working to have a dialogue with them about their concerns – which, albeit exaggerated, deserved to be heard.
“A student accused the president of systematic oppression of black students on campus,” one public relations professional told us. “He responded by saying people need to realize that their success is a result of their own actions and their own responsibility. It made him seem cold, but I don’t disagree with him.”
Nor do we … in fact individual responsibility is what made this country what it is. Or was.
What went down at Missouri this week was a politically correct lynching … a triumph of irrational outrage.
More than that, though, it was a win for the very sort of unfounded bullying the protesters claim to have been fighting against …

The news just keep getting WORSE for FITS News – and his idiots. Carson called you a lair, and you have produced NO proof to back up your claim against him.
Now Hillary will have to either be for, against or (my guess) dodge the Mizzou WHITE PRIVILEGE NAZIs…
Sucks to be you, asshole.
Westmorland was not in Detroit when Carson said he met him. West Point never offered him admission. West Point never offered him a scholarship. What more proof is there, you brain dead lazy POS who sits on his ass and collects welfare while the rest of us work.
yeah – the whole Westmorland thing isn’t as simple as “he wasn’t there…” because he was there, just for a different event a little later in the year and the facts link up. The press tried to whip up a tempest in their little teapot and it backfired on them.
Nah, you never win against the guy buying ink by the gallon and paper by the ton. He’ll win in the end.
Truth is Carson would make a much better Surgeon General than President but damn – Obama was given a pass for all of his college stuff by the press and here we are looking into Carson’s high school stuff.
Oh, there’s no argument that Carson was a real professor with an MD or that he is one of the most talented neurosurgeons around. There’s no argument that he was in fact the highest ranking JROTC Cadet in his region as a senior in high school – the only debate is when (not if) he met Westmorland. The whole debate over a West Point scholarship is idiotic, the United States Military Academy (the real name for “West Point”) itself refers to their benefit as a full military scholarship
True, though I think the story is these guys hire a ghost writer who then take editorial liberty and it gets them all katywumpas. Look at Rubio and the flight from Castro story. It’s like they all have this recipe, it includes some silly book, and it comes to bite them in the end. But hey, if I can argue it to piss of GT – that’s always fun.
NYT has a piece about Rafael and Ted lying about Rafael’s exploits in Cuba.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/10/us/politics/cuban-peers-dispute-ted-cruzs-fathers-story-of-fighting-for-castro.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news
Indeed it does. But he didn’t say “I was led to believe I would have a scholarship” or “I was told I would likely get a scholarship”. As you know, you only get the offer of you apply. So maybe it’s not the full 4 Pinocchios. It does merit 2-3 because it is false, misleading, deceitful.
I wouldn’t rank it one Pinocchio – a 17-18 year old kid doesn’t understand what it means when someone says “…you could have a scholarship…” versus “…if you apply, are accepted and get lucky you could earn a scholarship…”
I spend many hours a week making/dealing with scholarship offers to kids and am exquisitely, excruciatingly careful to explain exactly what I’d talking about and what each part means.
There was a similar banquet event in Detroit in February of that year that the General did attend, and that Carson, a leader of the city’s ROTC program at the time, was invited to the event.
Wasn’t Sandusky trying to recruit Carson at that event ?
No.Shaft was trying to fuck your whore mom back then.
Politico has gutted its claim, and has re-written the story, trying to save reputation…Dumbass. You might check w/ your lords, before making a fucking fool of yourself…LMAO…
fluffer
OH Christ, I’m not going to slap you down a second time. I have real work to do. Ta ta!!
Fitsnews personal “fluffer’.
fluffer
Social justice is nothing more than mob rule.
Is that anything like Democrat-Obama Rule???…LMAO…
Gotta love Liberalism in FULL blossom a year before the most-critical presidential election in my lifetime…
Not really, except many in these delusional mobs seem to be suffering from widespread generational butthurt.
The only butthurt is from racist assholes like you seeing another racist get canned.
Just like that POS Fields. That was great!
Speaking of canning racists, can’t wait to see how ruined Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. are at the end of their journey.
Awww, has Fecal Matters run out of crap?
Looks like it.
Don’t want to talk about Stafford and Greenhouse?
Until you stand up to these animals they will get away with this shit.University should have just taken their scholarships if they wouldn’t play. If you don’t attend class you don’t pass the class.
They couldn’t pull this at Clemson as the rumor is the football players don’t attend class? Is that true?
Good point. If they want to play chicken, I’m game. I love the game, but I’ll le it crash and burn….nothing is worth selling your children down the river, for…unless you’re a Democrat. They’ll sacrifice their children to their religion of Liberalism. But I’m not for child sacrifice, like they are.
you fluffer
If there was a football boycott at South Carolina, how would you tell?
I was just wondering when the news of their shutdown was going to come out. 10 weeks late.
Dabo better keep winning cause that group he has reminds me of the thugs from the old Miami U. days.They turn on him in a minute.
Poor racists. Nobody is listening to their crap anymore.
I can see why you’d be concerned.
I love when trolling rubes come around and act like they know a goddamn thing about me.
You’re a typical white racist loser, who’s scared of organized black youths. What else is there to know?
Mmmmkay, sounds good butthurt little millennial.
Organized animals aka Black Lives Matter….
Fixed it for ya!
“Organized black youths” ? The chimps can’t even run a Burger King drive thru window without fucking it up.
They ran an organized protest that obtained it’s goal. Your side keeps losing at every turn. Love it!
NO, only the white-guilt liberal pussies like you, who give in to the barbarians…..and believe me, you’re hardly the majority……as you’ll find out, sooner than later.
Who said I’m white? lol
People like me are the majority, idiot. Just look at all the great things happening in the country these days. It’s just the beginning :-)
Beginning of what? Mob mentality based on a foundation of ignorance?
What is your characterization of “great things”? Go ahead give us a list of 10-15 “great things” that are happening so we can wrap our heads around your point of view.
Just 15? Just because idiot racists like you are being rebuked by the nation at large, at every turn, doesn’t mean the country is ruined. Quite the contrary. Just sit back in your computer chair and let us keep on doing our thing ;-)
I was asking for 10-15 things you would point to as great. You can’t even articulate what it is that you think is so notable.
The GOP’s 18 candidates are 18 reasons why we are doing so great. That party is in shambles and it can only benefit the country as a whole.
I agree, this nation is making great strides in progress. At every major turn the racist, homophobic Republicans have suffered defeat after defeat, at least where it matters. They will fade into irrelevancy eventually, just a matter of time. Humanity continues to evolve and the worst get blown away like chaff in the wind. Good riddance.
Yeah, good luck getting your food, electricity, medicine and every other technology when whiteys gone…….you’lll starve to death by the millions.
Leave our website raciest.
I pledge allegiance to the flag….and justice for all
Be careful, pick the appropriate shit-stained wall to die on, metaphorically speaking.
#fecalmatters
Another racist asshole slapped down by socially conscious young people.
What a great time to be alive!
I would describe them as brainwashed Black Panther types being payed to destroy local communities like in Ferguson and Baltimore.
Nah, they’re just smart kids who know how to organize and get what they want.
You know, the exact opposite of you racist losers who can’t form a crowd in public the save your worthless lives.
No.Just PAYED state controlled school, brainwashed American hating tools ,like Obama.Social agitators that hate themselves and had no daddy.Obama is their daddy.
Nah, those are our future leaders. I can see why you are so terrified of them. Bigots like you will just be slapped down the second you try to open your ignorant mouth. That’s why you post here all day. You keep your mouth shut, like a good coward, when you are ever out in public…and spew your bullshit here. Pussy.
Future leaders???? hahahahhahahhahahahhah
They are just another example of the breakdown of the family and failure of state controlled public schools and universities.
The bro’s just didn’t want to play cause they are 4-5 and their queer leader Michael Sam is no longer givin em hand jobs in the shower.
I see them organizing and leading a protest that successfully reached it goal. Where were your people when it came time to save the flag? To help Fields keep his job? To keep marriage between a man and a woman? To hold Hillary ‘accountable’? To keep Obama a one term president? To stop the treaty with Iran? To do anything you bitch about? Exactly. Keep talking on the internet and let the capable people keep doing what they’re doing and leaving you fools in the dust bin of history.
“To help Fields keep his job?”
You mean the hundreds of students who rallied for him and wore shirts saying ‘Free Fields’?
Unsuccessfully rallied.
Why can’t you guys get anything done? Maybe some African-American youths could give you some pointers?
I wonder if a mall needs a security guard in the area?
Right on. They could give me their skin color and then I would have the privilege of being granted just about anything I demand on the basis of my skin color. Isn’t that a little ironic in this situation, seeing as how these individuals are protesting (erroneously) “white privilege”?
They didn’t use their skin color. They used useful idiot college football fans to pressure the school. Pretty smart and it worked perfectly. Don’t be mad that a group of students totally worked you fools. Watch and learn.
I believe flip’s people showed up afterwards at a rally, they were wearing hoods.
Actually only about 45% of them will be equipped with a college degree, for their venture into “leadership”.
Just go back to your tree and continue to pick lice out of your girlfriend’s fur.
Aww, poor dumb racist. At least I have a girl.
Reminiscent of Steve McQueen’s death scene in the “Sand Pebbles” …
Loved that movie, not a good ending for ole Steve.
And I watched about two hours of old TV shows on you tube, Superman, Have gun will travel, Dragnet, Lone Ranger, Sky King, etc.. It brought back some old memories of the family camped out in the den, watching TV.
Kids these days would freak out if you were to time warp them back to the TV of the fifties and sixties.
Google MeTV and see if it is in your area.Great old shows from then.
I’ll try that, thanks…
You are welcome.Watching Bonanza while I preach right now. :)
The only 55 year old rancher with three sons aged at 51, 49, and 45 …..
That’s funny.
— and that was ONE kid each by THREE different wives!
And exactly how did Hop-Sing fit in??????????????????
I am curious, yellow ……?
the thing about super man is when you unload a gun into him, he bows out his chest and smiles, when it is empty and they throw the gun at him, he ducks out of the way, what is the man of steel thinking?
Never caught that, but it is true. In the end it makes Superman out to be a real pussy.
He can eat real bullets on the fly, but don’t cunch that gun at him.
How about why did they build the gate so big in King Kong ?
The bad guy ran out of foam guns.
Speaking of eternally powerful people, the pope was approached by a gay priest who remarked that he loved the dress, but his Holiness’s purse was on fire.
Sky King had a horse that was faster than his airplane!
Boy you are really a deep thinker.
I loved Steve McQueen in “The Great Escape,” but I thought he did a better acting job and therefore made the “Sand Pebbles” a better movie.
The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery (1959) — on Youtube. Read his bio on Wiki…. interesting life!
Steve McQueen was everything in real life that John Wayne was not…………………
Even more poignant was William Holden in the end of “The Bridges At Toko-Ri”……..
If you don’t like it, don’t go to Mizzou.
It is fact the Missouri Flag is red, white, blue and has bars and stars
Once they pull it down, burn it and bury the ashes racial accord will be achieved
At first it was tense and awkward on the bus between the Ku Klux Klan members and the group of Muslim women.
But then the talk turned to laundry tablets.
Here’s the list of demands. I’d quit too. Not just the University, but academia. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/mizzou-football/heres-list-demands-mizzous-protesting-athletes-students/
Since we are talking about football, did anything happen this past weekend?
Yeah, Carson got caught telling even MORE lies about his past.
Trump bombed on SNL.
And another racist got shown the door.
Good weekend!
How about at Clemson?
What’s that?
You see the hit on Pharroh Cooper ?
Yeah! BAD!
Trump got a check for the WALL on SNL.
It’s about the only version of reality where he would get one.
The Giants won. But what really sucked for me. was having to route for FSU to beat Clemson, I just felt so dirty. So violated. And then the freakin’ lost too. Just the whole thing has me sick.
One day, a housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirts.Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his wife, “What
setting do I use on the washing machine?”
“It depends,” she replied. “What does it say on your
shirt?”
He yelled back, “Clemson.”
And she yelled back, let me get you the bleach.
+10
i hold you personally responsible for my committing one of the seven deadly sins. ENVY
Knock, a new hack is here. U Trout.
Panthers still undefeated like Clemson.
Hummmmm – someone drew a swatika, with poop? Hummm, do we have anyone here that would do that? Anyone? Can someone help me out here? Is there anyone we have fixated on poop, and nazis? Geesh, what’s that guy’s name?
Probably a American hating liberal like you to stir up racial hate?You sure poured gasoline on the fire during the confederate flag debacle.Act like animals then prey on the next imagined social injustice after you blackmail people to get your way.
You’re damned right I raised my volume on that flag debate. That flag was there for racist reasons, always was. And Tom Davis deserves huge credit, for having the balls to say enough is enough, and having it taken down.
You are a liar.It changed NO ones life except giving you a reason to get out of bed for a month.
The racist flag is gone from the statehouse forever. Soon to be joined by other confederate momuments. Time to let those losers drift off into forgotten history, where they belong.
I’m an America-hating liberal and racist, and my gay lover GrandTango loves talking about shitting himself, so I think it would probably be us. LMAO!!!
Judging from the number of made up headlines these days, the likelihood that a white person being responsible for this is minimal.
Nah, I”m guessing immature white kids.
with smelly hands
Possibly, but let me fix it for you. An immature social agitating liberal white kid with smelly hands.
Yes.
I hear all the Jewish basketball players were ready to walk too.
It was performance art.
hmmmmmmmmmm ya know chimpanzees like to play in there poo. it was probably a drunken chimp. yea yea thats it thats the ticket.
get ready for this:

If you don’t agree with them they will come after you…..
Hooray! We are not last. South Carolina is in the middle of the bottom half.

So the Cockroaches got a “D”
Those dumb sons of bitches probably think that stands for Damn Good
Those dumb sons of bitches sure did get their way. Another racist without a job. He can join your unemployed ass ;-)
retired, don’t have an ass
Old lazy fart. Like I said, he can join your useless ass and scream about cockroaches.
don’t scream, just type
Another impotent old white goober. Lower than a cockroach. At least cockroach contribute, instead of suck up resources.
Send your daughter over and I’ll send you back two for one
On second thought keep her, your gene pool is so damn shallow the amoeba can’t drown
Great spar.
Why send my daughter over? She’s a nurse.
Do you need your adult diaper changed?
Feeding time?
When exactly did they quit playing ball?
duh they quit playing sunday through friday
They are 4-5 and just didn’t want to practice.I can assure you none of them missed a meal.
Another reason the coach should be fired. Get a new coach that can have control over the team!
So the football players get to run the universities now?
Apparently so, and it seems they were in one part motivated by the lies surrounding the Ferguson riots.
Obama and his actions has set this country back a few decades.
+100
The football coach shirked his duty. He let the players call the shots! Coaches making 3 million dollars per year should be expected to keep their players in line. Not allow them to “go on strike”.
The coach supported his players.
Imagine that, racist.
Hey maybe he’s just using the Spurrier coaching model.
The President of the school has joined the Squishy123 employment model.
None.
mom you are nothing but a racist old bitch and scant. Suggest you get with my boy erneba get together in Myrtle Beach, you two are so pathetic and stupid it’s just a BIG joke.
Yes they have.Just read where some of the same outside groups and agitators bussed into Ferguson during the riots are on campus and paying these kids.
Obama ‘shovel ready job’ money?
Yeah, that’s the ticket. I bet you even have names of these “outside agitators”. Let’s s see: James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, Medgar Evans, M.L. King
Maybe the over-rated bullshit that college football has become is finally taking root.
I would not give a rat’s ass nor lose one second of sleep if every college football team quit tonight.
NEWS ALERT!!! You go to college to get an education, not to get a set of hot nuts who is number 1 in the college football rankings.
Nothing would suit me better than to see the entire college football organization shut down…if for nothing else to see how many fat Caucasians would lose their shit because their favorite team ain’t playing this coming Saturday and they could not get in their vehicles and have their precious tail-gating parties.
Shit go have the tailgating party without the team playing why don’t you?????
The outcome would be the same!!!!!
Hey boy you are so predictable. Blame the president and Hillary for everything. It’s ok for cops to shoot and harass young people. I think you your new skank friend mom should attend one of those KKK shindigs in Myrtle Beach. She and you would make a wonderful rascal couple. Get a life boy, get life.
That and the president didn’t personally build a shrine to Michael Brown the moments right after he was shot.
So, the football players came to the head football coach and said they were going on strike unless they got their way. What the hell kind of coach lets his players call the shots?
Could it just possibly be…and I’m spit balling here…that the coach (ahem..clearing my throat) actually agreed with his players and wanted to show solidarity????
One that agrees with his players. Why can’t you racist, student hating assholes get that?
I hope that they never win again. Actually, they quit, as a team, a couple of weeks ago.
Isn’t there some type of legally binding document college players sign when they receive athletic scholarships? I know they can potentially lose their scholarships over alcohol. I would assume going on strike would be violating conditions for continuing to receive scholarships.
Not if the neglect of their duties for which they have that scholarship has the blessing of their coach.
Right. And if you remember, Spurrier put up with Steven Garcia’s violations for about 2 seconds. Even though Garcia was a great player, Spurrier tossed him.
Would that be after his fifth strike?
The coach lost control of the team a long time ago. Time for the coach to be fired.
Just imagine the outrage and crying that would go on if the Gamecocks did this?
Well, I’ve never seen the USC players go on strike unless the University president resigned. Have you?
Oh yeah, I forget imagination isn’t a strong suit with you bumpkins.
Why not? They’re funding them. States sure as hell aren’t
I’ve never seen so many victimized white people in my life as on these boards. Sheesh….
How much more will the Democrats let Obama demolish your party? …
Any white person left on the Democrat side, except for those hauling in millions and million via their crony-relationship w/ Obama- are Dumbasses. of course, that never stopped you before…LMAO…
Black Americans make up 32% of welfare recipients, even though they comprise a mere 12% of the US population. So the demographics of welfare recipients are not comparable to the overall demographics of the US. Even more concerning, Black Americans are more than twice as likely to have been on welfare than White Americans.
They ought to be protesting about what Obama and the Democrat Party has done to them.
what a “fluffer”
fluffer
Coach Finkel out to be fired.
Think about Dabo Swinney letting his players “go on strike” like this. I am certain HE doesn’t let his players call the shots.
He has to rap dance and kiss his bicep so they respect him.Sad.
Dobo is getting a pair of full sleeve tats.
Of Obama and Haley?
So he likes to cut up and dance with the players. He’s ready to tell any player to go the hell if he suggests “going on strike” for ANY reason.
yea its what the tribal leaders do in swaziland. you have to throw the savages red meat or whatever the fuk they eat. dabo is the head lunatic. very sad
Only a precursor of things to come at a higher institution of learning near you.
I really think the football contributors here in S.C. would set things straight with a coach that kowtowed to the players like that. The football PLAYERS do not hold power. The contributors hold the power.
*ought
They demand more black faculty while screaming what a racist place Mizzou is. Seems kind of self defeating if you are trying to recruit minority employees and students.
They demand more black faculty, staff and students… and also more mental health professionals. What does that say about who they want on campus.
My department at USC is hiring this year. We have screened over 150 apps so far. Excluding two applicants who were clearly African, I don’t remember a single instance thus far where the CV had any info suggesting that the applicant was a black person (i.e. minority fellowship in college, membership in a black fraternity, NAACP involvement etc.) We would be thrilled to hire a qualified black professor – but the supply in my field is negligible. Good luck with Mizzou hiring more black faculty.
Maybe your department should start accepting honorary doctorate degree applicants.
Primate House, Riverbanks.
Why would a black applicant sink to working at lowly USC, when the color of their skin will give them their pick of postings in the Ivy League?
Good luck finding the next president, nobody in their right mind would take the job if all it takes is three students being insulted by unknown people to get you fired.
This is where the University Board of Directors needs to step in and FIRE the sorry ass coach for allowing his players to go on strike.
You got it Mom.
i support the kids.i really liked that gay fellow sam.wish he would do the squishy up my ass.
Just contact 9″, that’s what he says he likes.
well i’m feeling pretty smug about how things played out.
Next thing you know they’ll want unions out there in Missouri. I’m not too worried about it though; they have a long history of voting against their own best interests
What planet are these people on? Are they now standing up for jews, and Israel from attacks by terrorists, and state sponsored terrorism by Iran, considering they’re worked up about a shit stained swastika? Unlikely, they probably side with the terrorists against Israel.

If “racism is ‘abhorrent” to ‘FITS’, then why does this blog love to stir up the neo-Confederate contingent here into venting their spleens about what happens on a college campus half a country away and which none of us have more than a very superficial knowledge of?
Hits, maybe? Hits are a good enough reason to stir up the racist displays that you find so abhorrent? Makes sense to me.
It’s not about racism. It’s about letting the inmates run the asylum, which seems to be a trend
I’ve never stepped foot near Mizzou, never will. Not my problem. Only butthurt racists get angry at it.
It’s totally about racism. That’s the whole reason for the protests.
That’s why you’re so bothered and commenting. Just like you supported that racist cop that got fired for assaulting a girl. You can’t stand the black youth. It’s plain as day to everyone else!
You are the biggest racist on Fits.Well behind LimbaughsapaKhunt and Rocky.And Sic Temper.And Rakkan.And mamatiger92.And stumpknocker.And soft sign from hell.And well shit you ain’t even Top 10.
Will would probably give his left kidney if it meant clicks. That and it might help him lean a little bit more to the right.
Talk about fucking one’s self up the ass
Now that they have run the President off looks like they are going to have to return to the gridiron to be embarrassed some more
Great plan fellas, lousy execution
Racist prick of a President canned. Protest successful.
They stay and get their degrees. Well played.
There is nothing “successful” about these protests, no matter what the outcome. The only thing “successful” about this is that it shows that the most expensive commodity our country pays for is ignorance. We pay a huge price for it and certainly get nothing in return.
Racists smacked down by the youth. That sends a strong message. I can see why you racists in SC are scared. Better start watching your mouths or your Gamecocks will straighten it out for you.
So you’re saying we should be scared of black youth? Sounds like you’re a bit racist.
LMAO!!! These street thugs are flunkies that would be working at McDonalds if whites weren’t paying for their education.
Blacks can’t stand on their own.They need affirmative action and welfare.
They sure did successfully get what they wanted. Why does that bother you so much? Oh yeah, you are a loser who can’t stand seeing those who you denigrate accomplish goals you can only dream of.
Like what? Shoplift a pair of Air Jordans?
Nope. They got rid of the racist adminstrators. Didn’t take long either. They quit faster than Sarah Palin with a governor job.
Urgent Hot Tip for ya. Do not go into the Military. Blacks are there fighting for ? The United States of America.
Blacks make up less than 5% of combat arms troops but about 40% of those enlisted …..they’re too chickenshit to pick up a M4 and go down range……. to them, the military is just another government gravy train
Well then, what I saw was a illusion.
The Gamecocks couldn’t straighten out an overcooked piece of spaghetti right now. I’d love to see them pull what Mizzou did. Nobody would care.
What racists? The poop smearers are still at large.
And the state of Missouri will now forever be RED with TWO Republican senators and a Republican Gov.!
Thank you Black Lives Matter,New Black Panthers and Barack Obama.
Totally wrong again. Missouri is lead by a Democrat. That’s why their economy is doing far better than Tea Party run Kansas next door.
Only about 45% of the AA players will actually graduated with a degree.
And 90% of them get an unusable degree in such bullshit as African American Studies, Sports Management, and Sociology.
A football player from Mizzou would be welcomed to any Fortune 500 Company who wants to find its self in the cross-hairs of future controversy – college football is fantasy – a paying job is reality

Good post.
The inmates continue to run the asylum.
Well said.
The racists continue to be shown the door.
Those young people have way more smarts and knowhow than you’ll ever know.
Very proud of them. The future looks good….unless you’re a pissy racist.
Yeah, if you like Somalia or any of the the other Negroid hellholes, you’ll love the future America…..oh, even better when you throw in the transformerzoid sexual freaks….you fucking people are insane.
And you fucking people are being marginalized and ridiculed by most of society.
Racists, like you, are the butt of a national joke. Kicking and screaming like bratty little children and treated as such. Harmless little assholes, not to be taken seriously. Even Spurrier laughed at you idiots as the flag came down.
Sexual freaks make up perhaps 1.5 % of the population….blacks, 29%……and Whitey owns all the guns…..sorry.
Bring it
Whitey sits at home on the computer, whinning non-stop.
Blacks are actually organizing and getting stuff done in real life.
Thinking whitey has all the guns is foolhardy. Except for that fat, inbred cracker in Pageland with 7000+ stolen guns. What a POS punk thug at white criminal is, right?
Shouldn’t you be on your website, what was it cbs, bcc ?
The rapper Nelly would be a great choice to become Mizzou’s next president. After all, that is his home state. Sounds like the students there would be all for it. Maybe all the football players could get Range Rovers.
This is LaLa land. Made up bullshit that devalues the legitimate claim of any oppressed person. They should have cancelled the football season and told the protestors to go to class or pack their bags.
This shit doe the black community no good.
This report gets 4 “Boy in the Bubbles”.
That’s right, Privatize schools and if they want to protest, get rid of them. Go to another school and make them rich. We don’t need the trouble
I just spent an hour reading about this “racial” issue.
It is ridiculous.
I bet that President said to himself: “who the f wants to be the res of a place like this? I want the f out of here…now!”
#whitevictimhood
MO, where racist conservatives got the name “Pukes” well over a century ago.
A colder MS.
Hilarious. The sanctification of football finally bites back. It’s almost akin to empowering first the bigot base and then the baggers by the GOP. Both eventually took over.
The victim classes have officially gotten too big for their britches. The massive preferential treatment of minorities on both admissions and scholarships has backfired and created a bunch of spoiled monsters. Time to make them grow up. Time for race-blind college admissions.
The first American college quotas were to help dumber white Christians get in because admission based on academic performance and aptitude was feared to lead to Jewish domination of the student body. 90-100 years ago.
TNB!
Will, as usual in your zeal to spew yet another race baiting article to generate clicks (= cash) you left out several pertinent events that led to the actions taken by the African-American football players at Missouri. Among the facts not mentioned by Fits was the assault of the African-American Dean of Students by white perpetrators, cotton balls strewn about the Black Student Union, the failure of University officials to take action against a white student who interrupted rehearsal by a black theater group by shouting racial epitaphs, etc.
This is not a case of political correctness gone awry; far from it. It is about a group of students who were forced to take action against University officials who turned a blind eye and chose to ignore numerous race based incidents involving its African-American students.
But as always Will refuse to let facts and the truth get in the way of an opportunity to post a race baiting article with a few of his false, libertarian platitudes, “Don’t get us wrong: Racism is abhorrent…..” Give me a fucking break, you worthless piece of shit.
HA HA HA!!!! Democrats can’t win without illegals voting anymore….Just in!!! Bye Bye racist FOOL!!!
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — President Barack Obama’s plan to protect from deportation an estimated 5 million people living in the United States illegally has suffered another setback in court.
In a 2-1 decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld a Texas-based judge’s injunction blocking the Obama administration’s immigration initiative.
Republicans had criticized the plan as an illegal executive overreach when Obama announced it last November. Twenty-six states challenged the plan in court.
The administration argued that the executive branch was within its rights in deciding to defer deportation of selected groups of immigrants.
Part of the initiative included expansion of a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, protecting young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
You are a fucking liar.Black Lives Matter,New Black Panthers and the other social agitators that burn’t down Ferguson were PAID to go in and hold this university hostage.
They should have all been arrested and the WHITE funded scholarships taken away.Black thugs destroy our communities with their fatherless homes, drugs and crime and you are worried about a theater rehearsal being interrupted?
FUCK YOU and all the lawless bastards you support that seek to destroy this country.You LOST this battle and you don’t even know it.
I am done with Negros.
Maybe you should learn to spell the plural of the word, Negroes.
Regardless of the so called Issues involved in this debate.
When you allow a football team to control the President and Chancellor of a major State Funded College; it’s time to shut down that program.
College is for education, not as a NFL feeder system and local entertainment program.
Especially, since nearly all NCAA major Football teams are losing money and massively in debt, example USC is over $150 million in debt right now. These debts are backed ultimately by the taxpayers of each State.
Maybe they should hire the former President of SC State. He could finish running the Mizzou Collage into the ground like he did at SC State. By the way, What did the University of Mizzou President do to deserve resigning? The students never did say.
He wasn’t a POC
Coming To a University near you (after the Clemson shutout)
Have the players charged with grand larceny then expelled. They probably can still be charged with larceny, blackmail,conspiracy to commit larceny and expelled.
